About the author
Derek Beaugarde
4 books20 followersDerek Beaugarde is the sci-fi pseudonym for author John McGee. Born in the railway village of Corkerhill, Glasgow in 1956, he studied at Allan Glen's School for boys from 1968. The actor/author Sir Dirk Bogarde also went to Allan Glen's in the 1930s and the pseudonym is a homage to this great British icon. 2084 The End of Days is loosely based on biographical and family history anecdotes, then fictionalised by setting it within an Armageddon-genre sci-fi thriller. Seven individuals struggling with their daily lives are thrown together to face their ultimate battle - the survival of mankind.
Derek has recently published his adventurous space opera novella sequel to 2084. Entitled 2112 Revelation, it continues the story of the human survivors of the Armageddon, including Ewan and Jill Sinclair and their son Jack. Jack is set to carry out the first geological surveys across the Martian Cydonian Plain, but sinister forces back at Capitol Base are plotting to end his project, at any cost.
Derek has also published the prequel to complete the 2084 Trilogy. Entitled 2048 BCE The Eye of Horus, it is set in Ancient Egypt where Mentuhotep II is waging a war against the Lower Kingdom to become supreme Pharaoh of all Egypt. However, visitors from the Red Planet of Horus interrupt his campaign and he sets out to enlist the support of the alien visitors.
John McGee also publishes under the sports history pseudonym of Derek Niven and in this 50th anniversary year he has published Pride of the Lions. Fifty years after Celtic FC won the European Cup, the first British side to do so, on 25 May 1967 in the Estadio Nacionale in Lisbon, Pride of the Lions sets out to tell the family history of the 16 Bhoys who became immortalised on that balmy evening in Portugal. It tells the history of the men and women who made the Lisbon Lions and takes the legend of the 30 miles from Parkhead and takes the reader on a 3,000 mile journey across history and the story of Scotland's greatest sporting achievement.
Derek Niven has also published the sequel in the ‘Pride’ series called Pride of the Jocks the untold story of the men and women who made the greatest Scottish football managers. Discover the family histories of the 16 greatest Scottish football managers from the point of view of the men and women who made them. Tales of poverty to great riches and amazing footballing achievements.
